📚 Lecture: “The Myth of Valentine's Day: Neuroscience & Psychology”
🎤 Speaker: Dr. Widian Nicola
Join us for an enlightening evening with Dr. Widian Nicola as we peel back the layers of the romantic facade that Valentine’s Day presents. This lecture criticizes the polished narratives of love that society sells us, revealing that real love is rarely tidy or effortless. It is interwoven with our histories and requires much more than chocolates and grand gestures.
Dr. Nicola invites us to explore the lived reality of love through the lenses of neuroscience, attachment theory, and her extensive clinical experience. She will delve into how love truly forms, why it can often be painful, and the physiological responses our nervous systems have when we connect, withdraw, fight, or seek closeness.
This discussion is not about being a better partner or correctly celebrating Valentine's Day; instead, it's a deep dive into understanding love as a human experience shaped by our bodies, our pasts, and our ability to heal. Dr. Nicola's work translates the science of love into relatable concepts, making this an essential conversation for anyone who has ever loved, struggled, or pondered the complexities of relationships.
Don’t miss this opportunity for deeper insights into love and connection!
